Italy coach Roberto Mancini discussed inside Man Utd board room

Italy coach Roberto Mancini is being linked with Manchester United.

Mancini, who memorably led fierce rivals Manchester City to the Premier League title at the expense of United in the 2011-12 season, is said to be one of several bosses under consideration for the role, says the Telegraph.

His position at the helm of the Euro 2020 champions will influence whether he is able to take over at United, though, with Italy consigned to the World Cup play-offs next March as they look to secure a spot in Qatar.

However, depending on how this situation develops, United may find themselves able to swoop for Mancini in their hunt to name Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's successor.

The same outlet have also reported that the interest from United may still convince the 57-year-old to join them, even if Italy were to reach next winter's tournament.
